Q: What happened to CPU and GPU mining?
A: Their efficiency makes them irrelevant in the bitcoin mining world today
and the author has no interest in supporting alternative coins that are better
mined by these devices.

Don’t worry, there are multiple fork’s of cgminer out there nowadays, specialized in Scrypt mining. My favorite is Martin “Kalroth” Danielsen version. Changelog is available here.

So for the lazy people among us, here are the latest 2014-02-04 Linux precompiled binaries (64 bit). The only change I made to the code is changing the version from 3.7.3 tot 3.7.3-kalroth and patched the API to support PHPMiner.

WARNING !! Never trust binaries from unknown people, so please don’t download my binaries and compile them yourself! It is done in about 5 minutes.

If you want to tip someone, I would recommend C. Kolivas (BTC 15qSxP1SQcUX3o4nhkfdbgyoWEFMomJ4rZ) for the basis of this great app, or Kalroth (BTC 1DNBcSEENBwDKrcTyTW61ezWhzsPy5imkn) for his fork. If you really have to muck coins you can always send me a LTC tip: LbkbHNhZF3WXWBB7kttjZuW7LuAXUQvrMN.
